Memories are all we have left when a loved one passes away. We will all miss Anita so very much. Anita brought love, joy, happiness and laughter to anyone who had the pleasure of meeting her. Anita loved her families so very much and we all loved her. Being able to bring Anita home from the hospital to live her last few days with friends and family by her side meant so much to her and me. I will never forget the joy it brought to her. Anita passed knowing that she was so very loved. Thank you everyone for your love and support. Randy
